The demonstrations were not mentioned during the embassy ceremony, but many people took to social media to call out White House advisers Ivanka Trump and Jared Kusher for celebrating the opening in the wake of such deadly violence:

@SteveSchmidtSES Kushner and Ivanka’s presence and public roles at this Jerusalem embassy opening are outlandish. They are Assistants to the President. They have no business and no rank to be speaking for the country at a geopolitical flash point. We don’t have Princes and princesses in America 8:49 PM - May 14, 2018

Is he really the right person to serve as part of the US delegation to Jerusalem?http://www.newsweek.com/jared-kushner-disclosure-form-west-bank-settlements-israel-white-house-729290 …
